I am not on drugs!
And my steampunk computer keeps overheating and burning down much of the town, so I've stopped trying to fix it by court order.

Pretty much every skill affects the speed of its task.

Most farming skills, mining, woodcutting, stone-smoothing, building, and thread-weaving benefit from higher skill only by speed.

whatever you do, give them frills

Maybe a few subtypes...

Gecko--Dunno. They'd climb if they could.
Chameleon--Slow, but can hide. Probably have grasping feet.
Frilled--Have a frill; good at fleeing and social skills.
Iguana--Probably rage-prone.
Monitor--Big guys, strong but dumb.
Glass--Snake-shaped.
All would have prehensile tails, which I know isn't realistic, but it's cool.

On the 12th of Felsite, the cook gave birth to a littlecreeper seed*. The father is arbiter787, the manager.
Rigoth, the creator of Mournfulcheerful, has been making great wooden bolts.
On the 16th, an op was seen. Just as it escaped, another was found.

These blows were quickly followed by retrieving the axe from the op’s torso and decapitating it.
I realized something: This “recruit” is none other than Rigoth, who killed not only this op, but also three giant sparrows! Clearly, he must be rewarded. For starters, he gets to use the op’s dagger.
Shortly after this triumph, several giant keas showed up. I sent the militia to guard the fortress entrance! The militiamembers who were outside saw the keas  and charged…Meanwhile, some others calmly gathered wood in the middle of the battlefield. One creeper was injured. The battle came to the courtyard; the archers fired, the others charged. A dead giant kea was retrieved from the walls by a vigilant civilian. Others gathered teeth** from the casualty, or rather from where he lost them, but were frightened off by the keas. A fisher calmly fished as a kea tried and failed to attack it. Logem Granitetin, loving wife and head of the markscreepers, became an elite markscreeper. A giant kea falls into the courtyard and is quickly dispatched by Rigoth, making this his third giant kea kill…three out of three, and he killed three out of five of the giant sparrows. Rigoth is better at killing giant birds than the rest of the militia combined, and he doesn’t even have a crossbow! A giant kea is shot out of the sky, meaning that either Rigoth no longer has a monopoly on them or else he’s gotten pretty good at throwing that silver knife. More stuff happens, I’ll just describe the aftermath.
Well, most were killed. One bled to death, another had its head bashed in by an out-of-ammo markscreeper. One escaped, taking with it a bolt. In the chaos, no one noticed that the titanic slime had reverted to a wild state…***

*Fun fact: The new seed likes adamantine.
**Why do creepers have teeth?
***Update shortened for drama.

Thank you. The lizardman idea needs a bit of work to fit my image, or vise versa, but it will do nicely...

Not to my knowledge. They shouldn't, at least.

How will he make shelter if he can't cut trees or mine? Theft?
